One filesystem I'm trying to back up with AMANDA is really huge and I'm
encountering errors:

This filesystem is so huge, a level 0 is taking longer than 24 hours.
Any ideas on what could be going wrong? My best guesses:

1. The filesystem is just too big for TAR.
2. The filesystem is so big, its contents are changing during the tar
process and confusing it or amanda.

Any ideas as to what might be causing this?
